The State of Mississippi has passed a groundbreaking tax incentive for
filmmakers called the Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Program (HB 1190/SB 2997). The enhanced benefit package for producers of motion pictures, television, documentaries, short films, and commercial production paves the way for Mississippi to become a premiere filmmaking location. Learn more about both the increased percentages and the streamlined process of the Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Program here.
Combine the vision of your project with these exciting incentives and the resources of Eyevox, and there can be only one possible outcome: moviemaking history.
